PDF readers — download for Windows PC

How to choose

For opening PDF documents on Windows, see SumatraPDF. A lightweight reader suits reading and printing; choose a separate editing workflow if you need to change page content or build a document from scratch.

Before adopting a reader, test search, printing and the kinds of files you normally receive. Scanned pages may be images without searchable text. Forms, signatures and annotations can require functions that are not present in every reader.
